“According to Strength in Numbers, the Disney boycott quickly became four times as large as any boycott over the last five years. Disney's stock dipped about 3.5 percent and continued to trade lower in subsequent days — a loss in market value amounting to some $4 billion.” @rbreich.bsky.social

First person - Mom in Canada reacts to Trumps statement on Tylenol and Autism: “I didn’t take any medication, so there was no Tylenol in the mix - and my daughter - she’s autistic. #Canada www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

Good column. This conceptual error is of a piece with the error made by many (though not all) originalists in conceiving of the Constitution as a lock box with a fixed meaning to be deciphered deductively, like a puzzle, rather than a contested resource for structuring and arguing about politics.

We are getting a lot of American wildfire smoke here in BC, just saying. Works both ways!

Trump violated the law by firing government watchdogs, yet they won’t be reinstated, got it, so violations of the law are apparently okay? A federal judge in Washington rejected a bid to restore eight inspectors general who were dismissed shortly after Trump became president.

🚨 FEMA is being gutted. Former FEMA official Rafael Lemaitre warns: “The diversion of dollars away from FEMA and towards mass deportations erodes trust… and when disasters strike, lives are at stake.”

My Boston brothers & sisters don’t play

Just spoke to someone who works in a hospital. He said that patients - including those who are NOT pregnant women - are already telling their caregivers that they will NOT take Tylenol. The stupidity is already spreading like wildfire and there will be consequences.

ACCOUNTABILITY 🤌🏼

Sinclair will still not let their ABC affiliates air Jimmy Kimmel. So this is my FREE SPEECH answer on Twitter:

DHS subpoenaed Meta for information about an account that posts names and images of the ICE agents raiding our communities, but @aclu-norcal.bsky.social and advocates are pushing back. Recording federal agents while on duty in public — and sharing that information — is our First Amendment right.

Here is James Comey, refusing to admit that in hindsight he made an obvious terrible mistake leading up to the 2016 election that ultimately set American Democracy on its current course. Would he have done that if the candidate were a man? Comey deserves everything he gets.

News of it never circulated here, but @elijahbrubaker.bsky.social died a few weeks back. I have a few words in this piece for the Comics Journal, reflecting on his work and mourning his loss.

The president corrupting DOJ to the point of frivolous prosecutions to harass his critics—sometimes defined as law enforcement officials honoring the law— is very serious and bad. And yet, much as the regime got bogged down not silencing Kimmel, it’ll spend limited resources not convicting Comey.

No Kings in Albany on 9/27

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains that while Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly, every representative of every country listening to Trump knew that Trump is covering up the Homan files.

More innocent people are dead. The young white male shooter is dead. But still no conversation about the radicalization of young white men. Still no conversation about the need for gun safety legislation. Nope. That’d be politicizing the tragedy of course. No let’s just pretend this is all normal.

In the US, so many people are scared to speak out against Trump, they just throw money at him to keep him from cooking up fake lawsuits and throwing tantrums. Meanwhile, the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, flat-out called Trump “racist, sexist, misogynistic, and Islamophobic.”

Now.. imagine we do what we did with Disney with more and more mega corporations… until we have healthcare, housing, living wages, bodily autonomy, gender and racial equity, money out of politics… and like… just keep going all the way until we get to the liberation of everyone worldwide.

The distractions are endless. Tylenol use in pregnancy creates autism. Birth control pills are actually bad for you. IVF is wrong. It never ends, but it’s all part of a strategy: Make American Women Helpless Again
